Spaying is the only way to control unwanted pregnancies or DO NOT't ever let the cat outside. If you are unable to afford the procedure there are local animal shelters that will do this for a very inexpensive amount. It's very irresponsible to not spay a cat not to mention inhumane if you don't. If you don't understand this you need to find someone to adopt your pet!!!!
Yes, there is feline contraception, but vets will only prescribe it for breeders who need to control the heat cycles. These drugs cannot be given on a regular basis as it contributes to problems long-term. Any vet can verify this for you if you call and ask.
I just read your other questions about your sick kitten. You seem to be seeking medical advice without being interested to see a vet. One question you asked about advice about which antibiotic to give to your kitten. YOU NEED TO FIND A HOME FOR THIS FEMALE CAT if you cannot afford to have her spayed. There are shelters who will do free spays if you are considered very low income and can provide proof. PLEASE SPAY YOUR CAT!!!!!!

I got sick during my pregnancy from the second trimester until I was in labour, and even then I threw up once (from the epidural; emergency c-section). Nothing I took worked at all, but I found that it would be exacerbated by things such as low blood sugars (I'm diabetic) and motion. Which meant that I was sick EVERY SINGLE TIME I got in a vehicle to go to work, or shopping or whatever I was doing that day. The thing is, you must keep things down for yourself and your baby. You and your baby are sharing nutrients, so if you don't have enough, the baby will take them anyway and leave you with a deficiency. If these drugs help you keep food down, they might be very necessary. If this goes on long term, you could be in a bit of trouble. So, take the drugs when you need them, and try and endure the headaches. My case is not typical, so there is a big chance that you will stop having nausea after the first trimester is over. I found the Ginger tablets did nothing, and the only way I coped with the combination of nausea, reflux and vomiting was to always have soda water and milk around. Not together, of course, that would probably make you feel worse ;) I really enjoyed my pregnancy, despite nausea and some very embarrassing public vomiting (haha) and I hope you have the opportunity to relax and reflect on the changes happening in and to you :) Congratulations on your pregnancy, good luck :)

There are contraception pills for cats. i don't know what they are called and anyway you need to ask a vet about dosage etc.But they exist. DON'T give them human medication.
CHeck on the net with your search engine. This is what I found quickly:
Section: Preventing Pregnancy
If you are not looking forward to the pitter-patter of little paws, there is a simple solution: Neuter or spay your pet. For cats, the most reliable and effective method for birth control is the removal of the reproductive organs.
For some people, however, the procedure is too permanent. They may want their pet to breed some time in the future, and are looking for a way to suppress the sex drive. Two medications – progestin and mibolerone – have been shown to suppress the reproductive drive, but they are only effective in the female. So far, there is no medication that can suppress the libido in male cats.
Progestins
Progesterone-type medication, such as megestrol acetate, medroxyprogesterone acetate and proligestone, have been used to suppress estrus (heat) in cats. In order to be effective, the medication must be given at a specific time during the heat cycle. The dose of the medication varies on when it is given related to the heat cycle. These medications usually do not affect future heat cycles and the ability to become pregnant.
Currently, there is an implant (Norplant®) being tested and is showing some promise in suppressing estrus in cats.
However, these medications carry increased risk of cystic endometrial hyperplasia, uterine infections and mammary tumors. Diabetes, adrenal gland dysfunction and hair loss have also occurred in pets that have been given progestins.

overid tablets or injection only available from a vet not often used as spaying is cheaper & better for the cat . some breeders use it for short term contraception in a breeding queen when spaying is not an option but the timing isnt right for kittens , it has been known to stop some cats calling permanently but a lot of others have gone on to have healthy litters when the overid has worn of

Sorry. Spaying is the only way. If there was another way, everyone would do it. Find a low-cost vet and get it done. Too many kittens have to be put to sleep every day at shelters.

I don't think there is.
You should have your cat spayed. I just had my kittens done, much against my moral judgment, but apparently it not only prevents "womens" problems when they get older but it also stops them calling for a mate.
I have to say they have become infinitely more loving than before, and they do not any longer take poo out of the litter tray and play with it!
My advice is to get your cat done.

The best thing is to get her to the vet and just have the surgery, but other then that the best thing without side effects is keep her inside at all times.

the best way which is 100% effective is getting her spayed. is there a reason you can't get her spayed, if it is financial talk to animal shelters they usually will have a spay/neuter program that you can get it done at a reduced rate or if you can proove finanical hardship you can have it done for free.
if you don't want to go to a vet then you have to keep her inside and away from all males.

sorry, but spaying is by far the most compassionate in the long run. There are many places that will do very discounted spay/neuterings. Ask at your local animal shelter or humane society, they'll have tons of resources.

No, the only way to insure an animal will not reproduce is to spay or neuter them.
if the cat isn't spayed, keep her inside away for male cats.
If you can't afford a vet, you can't afford a animal, that's the bottom line.
(you go to the doctor, right)?
